| D.B. Sweeney ("Doug Dorsey") and Moira Kelly ("Kate Moseley") light up the screen in this charming movie about a hockey player and a snotty figure skater who are made partners in pairs figure skating after his hockey career comes to a premature hault when he suffers an eye injury, and she can't seem to keep a partner due to her overwhelmingly sardonic attitude. Doug and Kate are polar opposites, and certainly are not a match made in heaven as they begin training together for competitive figure skating, which hopefully includes a spot in the Winter Olympics. But as the days pass, and the months pass, their harshness towards each other turns into a little something more... Funny, sweet and a great movie for anyone, especially anyone who has ever had angry chemistry with someone. Highly recommended. |

| This is a movie that every skating fan (virutally) knows and loves. It's not the most accuarte portrayl of figure skating ... there has yet to be a skating movie made that IS and accurate portrayal of figure skating. But, it's fun and romantic and sweet and well acted. It's a bit fluffy, but that's what it's supposed to be. If you don't like figure skating --- or if you don't like pairs skating ... you probably won't "get" this movie. If you do, you will love it. A warning, though - if you know too much about pairs, you may find yourself arguing out loud with the movie at times, though. |

| Cultures and egos clash as a figure skater and a hockey player team up to go for the gold at the Albertville Games...in pairs figure skating. While the story is a bit cliched, the couple has chemistry, and the skating itself is fun with championship Canadian team Christine Hough and Doug Ladret doubling for the actors. The obvious holes (a hockey player reaching world class level in a couple of years??) are easy to overlook because the movie's so much fun. The most annoying thing real skaters will have to deal with is constantly being asked if that move really is illegal....no, just impossible. (Bounce spins are cool but there's no way you could throw a skater into a jump from one and have her land it). Nice date flick |

| I remember enjoying this film back when I first saw it, over 10 years ago. I hadn't rewatched it in quite a few years, but just decided to do so tonight. Sometimes movies aren't as good as I remember, but this one is. If you're the type of person who reads romance novels & loves that angry chemistry that some characters have, you'll probably be into this. The movie is about a figure skater who tries to make her comeback with an ex-hockey player (D.B. Sweeney). Plus Sweeney's character is also that red blooded sort of man who's more into sports & beer than literature & wine. The young woman is rich & spoiled, but also emotionally bruised & lonely. This is a PG movie, so don't expect any flesh. But do expect heat. Such as heated gazes. There probably isn't enough actual ice skating for big fans of ice skating, but it's enough for the casual viewer. |
